So I finally turned my 14G BioCube into a Goby/Pistol shrimp tank.

I put in a Yasha goby that is paired with a Randalli Pistol Shrimp. The Yasha goby burrowed immediately and is very happy. The shrimp ran into the overflow and I can't get him out! The grates for the over flow are on the bottom and top of the tank and are not very wide, I can't believe the thing even got in there, but I watched him do it. :-(
I tried turning off the pumps and adding mysis to lure him out, NO LUCK. He's alive, I heard him snap. This is the second pistol shrimp that has done this.
Any ideas on how to lure him back out?
If I can't get him back out and he dies, any suggestions on what to do so that the overflow grate gaps aren't big enough for the pistol shrimp to climb in?
 
you could always try to find a way to tie on some of the black filter sponge like people do with powerheads in anemone tanks.
